maybe a gloat? Lathe

Re: maybe a gloat? deal just got sweeter

looks like the deal got a bit sweeter, finally drilled the lock off the front cabinet and found goodies inside. appears to be 4 sets of outside jaws for the chuck they seem to have about three rounded parts each progressively smaller. and each set smaller. a set of alum soft jaws that bolt on
and the three piece aluminum chuck thing im not sure about . and the big thing is a collet closer system no collets but think the rest is there.

That collet closer is worth almost what you paid for the lathe. I'd say you really scored. You can get a set of collets off of ebay for about $80 or so.

Thats the name brand of my knock off Tiawan lathe. I did very little wiring to use all the facory controls with the vfd on mine. i mounted the vfd in the tool box to protect it.If you want contact me for the wiring pictures and instructions. BTW, Nice score.

Thanks for describing your VFD setup. I never thought about hiding the vfd in the tool box. I may pirate your idea for my Harrison M300. If I mount it there I'll provide fan ventillation to keep things cool.

There is enough space in the tool box that it doesn't get hot even with the door shut. I do leave it open most of the time for easy access though.
